Hello Susan,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I see that your Messages app is showing that you have a large number of unread messages when you don't. I have a couple of things for you to do to resolve this.


First, I would force quit the Messages app:

Force an app to close in iOS


Then, restart your iPad:

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Best regards.
